Last time we met we we're talking about bags and banks and I told you I would talk about guild banks later, well it's later now. Actually as my sister has pointed out it's never later it's always now, but no matter we're talking about it anyway. As far as use go's it's not terribly different from your personal bank. To that end this post is more about etiquette then use. The three big differences between your personal bank and the guild bank are; guild banks can have up to eight tabs. Obviously enough the contents of which don't belong to just you. Which leads us to the last thing; What you can withdraw from the bank (be it items or gold) on a daily basis will most likely be limited. The contents of the guild bank are made up by the collective donations of all your fellow guild members. Unless your guild is remarkably unorganized the items in the bank will be sorted within the different guild tabs. Before putting anything into the guild bank you want to make sure your putting it in the right place otherwise this can become very annoying for a guild master. To see what any given tab is
intended for you just have to mouse over the tab at the top and it will tell you what the tab has been named. By clicking on the tabs at the top it will switch you to a different bank tab (blatantly obvious I know). Some of these tabs will be earmarked for different things, often times their will be an officers only tab, or a tab intended purely for raid team members. In cases like these unless you fall into one of those categories you wont be able to access to any of the things in those tabs. Sometimes their will be a tab that says "Ask an officer" to this end it's a really good idea to know who all your guild officers are. If you don't know you can always press the "J" key. This is the default key to open your guild window, click on the roster tab and set the pull down menu to "Guild status" and that will show you all online guild members ranks. Back to banks. Guild gold just like items in the bank will be limited on how much you as a player can withdraw. That amount will also count towards the amount you can use for guild repairs for the day. Guild gold has been donated by guild players as well as collected from guild members completing quests, guild raids, battlegrounds and other activates that the game rewards the guild for.
If you should find yourself flush with cash (me neither) and want to donate some to the guild just mouse over the guild gold in the bottom right hand side and left click on it. A menu will pop up that you can fill in and then click accept. Should you for some reason want to know the transaction (withdrawal/ deposit) history of a tab just hit the "transaction log" tab and it will tell you all the comings and goings of that tab. Their is also a "money log" that will do the same thing for guild gold. Unless you are a guild master or officer their isn't much point in looking through these. As a low level guild member, bank restrictions can be really frustrating. However you need to see things from the guild masters perspective. Until you know a player you have no idea who is honest and who is going to walk away with everything in the guild bank. Sad to say but I've lived through this scenario before. As you can imagine it's not fun. So prove your character and climb up the guild ranks and don't rob people blind.
Remember we're all noobs, some of us just fly the flag a little higher.
